New York Community Bank Bank Account Or Service Complaint

New York Community Bank Bank account or service department,

(CD) Certificate of deposit Account opening, closing, or management New Jersey

To summarize, I have an 18-month liquid CD with New York Community Bank with a " DO NOT RENEW AFTER MATURITY '' when CD was opened with the branch manager. This is also noted on the Notes section of the CD contract agreement. This was a liquid CD type to make sure I can withdraw the funds when needed for funding my kids college costs. The CD had matured earlier this year but NYCB bank automatically rolled it into a regular 18-month CD with a very low rate, since according to the bank, I did not notify them during the grace period. Note that the original CD was a LIQUID type with a " no renewal after maturity '' terms. I was told that I would be penalized ( $ -+ ) if I withdraw the money. So now, my funds are locked into this low 18-month rate with a penalty if I take my money out. I am also an " Elite '' program customer supposed to be given higher rates ( CD, Savings, etc. ), more benefits, at this bank. According to the bank, because of this " Elite '' customer status, there is a benefit to auto


have spoken to the branch manager and several bank employees of the bank and I was even told that the bank do not normally follow these notes/terms on the CD contract. The NYCB bank breached the terms of the CD contract agreement by reinvesting my funds automatically into a REGULAR CD. To add insult to injury, I was told that as an added benefit going forward, they will revised their policies to make it clearer to customers going forward. I have mailed a copy of the complaint to the CEO/President as well as the COO. I am still waiting for a reply. Since these operational procedures are not followed at this bank, it is causing customers like me to suffer and pay for their violations. I want to raise all these points to the regulators so it should prevent others to suffer like me.
